INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 2 - 3.
 Unplug the router.
 Remove chip shield from router base by pushing two
sides together and removing from base.
 Depress spindle lock.
 Place the wrench provided through front of router base
onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to loosen.
 Install bit once collet nut is loose. If changing bits, bit will
easily slip from collet after loosening collet nut.
 Insert shank of bit until shank bottoms out, then pull it out
1/16 in. to allow for expansion when the bit gets hot.
 Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with
the wrench provided.
 Release spindle lock.
 Replace chip shield.
To remove the bit:
 Place the wrench provided through front of router base
onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to loosen.
 Loosen the collet nut and remove the bit.
 Release the spindle lock.
SELECTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 4 - 8.
Proper depth of cut depends on several factors: the horse-
power of the router motor, the type of bit, and the type of
wood. A lightweight, low horsepower router is designed for
making shallow cuts; a router with higher horsepower is
designed for deeper cuts. Small bits, such as veining bits
with 1/16 in. cutting diameters, are designed to remove only
small amounts of wood. Large bits, such as straight-flute
bits, remove larger amounts of wood and make deeper cuts
in soft woods, such as white pine.
Choose a depth of cut that will not place excessive strain on
the router motor. If you need extra force or the motor speed
slows down considerably, turn off the router and reduce the
depth of cut. Then, make the cut in two or more passes.
When routing a groove that is too deep to safely cut in one
pass, make the cut in several passes. We recommend that
cuts be made at a depth not exceeding 1/8 in. and that
several passes be made to reach deeper cuts.
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 4 - 8.
 Unplug the router.
 Raise bit by unlocking plunge lock lever.
 Adjust hex nuts on threaded post until bit is inside router
subbase.
 Place router on a flat surface.
 Lower router until tip of bit barely touches flat surface.
 Lock plunge lock lever to position bit at "zero" depth of
cut.
 Adjust hex nuts until they come in contact with stop flange.
This will provide a position stop at "zero" depth of cut.
